Horses Inside Out After a rather circuitous route (involving arriving at Heathrow 12 hours early for our flight!) David and I arrived at Sao Paulo at 6.30am right in the middle of their morning rush hour. The journey to the University showed us just how populous and hectic Sao Paulo city was – buildings on top of one another, cyclists on dual carriage ways, crazy motorbikes zipping through the heavy traffic! The Universidade do Cavalo was a haven of peace by comparison! We were met by our hosts Aluisio and Paula, and straight away introduced to Brazilian Tea and Coffee – exceedingly strong! Lunch time in Brazil is a big affair with a great variety of dishes being offered and 2 hours given to digest and sleep off all the food. The evening meal, usually around a huge open fire, was supposedly a smaller meal but there was such variety! Every meal at the Universidade do Cavalo seemed to be a social affair – it always felt like a party. The actual Horses Inside Out two day Clinic was a real success. Comprehensive, hard work but great fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it. All the students from Universidade do Cavalo were so enthusiastic, dedicated and hard working. It was refreshing to work with such genuine people. We started painting at 5am on Saturday morning and to my surprise all the students and many of the visitors were up at that time to watch and help with the painting. It was great to have so many helpers and we painted the three horses in record time! It took me a while to get used to having an interpreter, but Claudia was fantastic. I had pause after very point to give her time to repeat my sentences. This felt rather slow to start off with but after a while I realised, having to pause really gave me time think about the best way to communicate the information and it gave the audience a greater opportunity to absorb the information. I am sure those of you who have been to a Horses Inside Out Lecture demonstration, can appreciate that there is a lot to take in!! The movement and jumping sessions were a great hit.

Rose Seagrave a Dressage Judge from near Southampton had seen us at the Dressage Judges 2 day convention at Hartpury College last year and wanted to put on a demonstration in her area. She arranged a fantastic Saturday Evening attended by about 200 riders. Run as a charity event, Rose donated over £2000 to the Air Ambulance. Riders are the second biggest call out after Road Traffic Accidents and as the Air Ambulance operates entirely through donation, this was definitely a phenomenal effort. |

Having met the ‘Rockin’ Horse Equestrian Stunt Team at Your Horse Live last year, it seemed a good idea to use horses used to performing on command to get some unusual shots and capture specific movements on well trained beautiful horses in order to demonstrate in a different way how important it is to understand correct movement.. Guido and Sophia made us really welcome at their lovely base in Lincolnshire and we had a wonderful day. |

31st May 2009 Freddie, Gillian and Shirley set off to Plumpton College to join with Mary Wanless and take part in The Naked Truth of Riding. This was really good fun. During the morning Freddie displayed his muscular skeleton system in the out side and during the afternoon Gillian donned a skeleton suit and took part in a training session led by Mary. It made it very clear to the audience that the position of the rider is of crucial importance to the way of going of the horse. The day was a thoroughly enjoyable experience which was greeted extremely enthusiastically by the audience. |

11th April 2009. Almost Totally Western Horses Inside Out goes west! I have spent the last couple of days at Horse Creek Farm Ranch, learning all about Western riding and Sovereign Quarter Horses. It has been fascinating and I have learnt so much. It has been interesting to look at these horses and see how they move, how they are trained and think about it all from an anatomical an biomechanics perspective. |
